The first concert of the year organized by the Euskal Echea College will take place this afternoon at the Chapel on Sarandi Street in Buenos Aires.  Concerts take place once a month and gather musicians from various areas that play a great variety of repertoires.  Today’s concert, at 7pm, is by Fernando Ciancio on the trumpet and Enrique Rimoldi on the organ.  Admission is free and open to the public. 

Buenos Aires, Argentina.   The Euskal Echea Institute in the capital city begins the 2015 course by opening its doors to the community for a series of concerts.  The goal of this initiative is double; on the one hand, to provide a space for classical music and its followers, and on the other to be able to hear the sounds of the organ “Kilgen & Son,” the only one of its kind in Argentina.  Faithful to its origin and mission, all the concerts include works by Basque or Basque related composers and pieces.

The inaugural function of the year is divided into two parts.  The first includes an introductory talk followed by a recital by a trumpet and organ played by Fernando Ciancio and Enrique Rimoldi.  The musicians will play a repertoire that includes works by composers such as Johann S. Bach, marc A. Charpentier, John Stanley, George F. Haendel, Jeremiah Clarke and Fr. Felipe Gorriti, among others.

The program for the upcoming months is as follows:

-May 14. Mercedes Garcia Blesa (soprano), Gabriel Schebor (vihuela) and Ana Paula Segurola (organ).  Basque crosses – Portuguese and Spanish in the Renaissance of the Anchieta.

-June 11.  Osvaldo Guzman, organ recital

-September 3.  Choir from the Euskal Echea Institute, directed by Jose Antonio Cardozo; Buenos Aires Lagun Onak Choir directed by Miguel Pesce, Jose Maria Gutierrez (txistu) and Javier Davalos (organ).

-October 1.  Cristina Garcia Banegas (Uruguay), organ recital.

-November 5. Cristina Deanna and Ana Paula Segurola, organ concert for four hands

All of the concerts will take place at the Chapel of the Euskal Echea Institute in Buenos Aires on Sarandi Street 735.  Admission is free and open to the public.  For more information write: info@euskalechea.esc.edu.ar. You can also visit them on Facebook here.
